After the delicate beauty salted fish, the sick and weak prince kicked the door to coax

Chapter 40 Praising Gu Rong's narrow-mindedness
Being able to be an in-law with the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is good for the Zhongyihou's mansion, and it will also help his official career. Lord Hou doesn't want to just give up like this.

When Mrs. Hou heard this, her eyes flickered, she had naturally considered this matter.

In particular, just now, the servant told her that Gu Rong and Lu Shizi seemed to hit it off, and they had a very happy conversation.

However, even though Gu Rong is the concubine's daughter of the Hou family, she is not talented enough, and her appearance is only considered pretty, so she is a bit out of hand for the time being.

It may be possible to cultivate it for a period of time, after all, Gu Rong is also a smart girl.

"It's not urgent. Let's retire the engagement first. Let's talk about it after Rong'er officially goes out as a guest and integrates into the circle." Mrs. Hou sighed.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Hou became angry again.

The posts inviting the Hou Mansion before were like snowflakes, and it was impossible to understand at all, so she had to choose to participate.

But now it's good, there are only a few posts in the past few days, and they are all that she looked down upon before!
Madam Hou also knew that the problem was with Gu Xi.

The previous posts were all for Gu Xi, but now that Gu Xi has changed from a phoenix to a pheasant, and her reputation has been damaged, no one wants to invite her anymore.

Even the other people in the Hou Mansion couldn't receive the post.

Mrs. Hou blamed Gu Xi again, thinking that she was so ignorant!

If she didn't go to Zhuangzi, but still dealt with the powerful, she would still receive a lot of posts with her previous fame and face.

In this way, if she and Gu Xi take Rong'er to the banquet again, they can quickly help Rong'er gain a firm foothold in the circle.

But now!
Mrs. Hou thought to herself, if Gu Xi doesn't come back tomorrow, she will be arrested and taken advantage of her while she still has a little reputation.

Township government.

As soon as Lu Heng returned to the mansion, he went straight to Mrs. Lu's yard, came to her, and said excitedly,
"Mother, I don't want to wait until the end of the year to get married with Xi'er. I want to go as soon as possible. You can find a matchmaker tomorrow to choose a good day to go to the Hou Mansion to discuss the wedding date."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she was so angry that she almost lost her breath.

Gu Xi, that vixen, absolutely cannot marry his son, this marriage must be terminated.

How could a lowly woman from a peasant family be worthy of her rich, handsome and noble son.

Therefore, as soon as she learned of Gu Xi's life experience, Mrs. Lu was thinking about how to cancel this marriage.

What's more, now that Gu Xi's reputation is rotten, it is rumored that she is a vixen who hooked up with many men.

What Qi Yue, the sixth prince, and the king of An Jun are all unclear to Gu Xi.

Mrs. Lu even wondered if Gu Xi had already cuckolded her son, otherwise why would these princes and grandsons support Gu Xi.

It's just that she just had some ideas about how to get rid of the engagement, and before she could take action, her son came to tear her down.

"Look, you're in a hurry, sit down and drink some water, and tell your mother slowly." Mrs. Lu said softly.

Lu Heng took Gu Xi's initiative to go to Zhuangzi, and told him about the divorce again, feeling distressed,

"Mother, Xi'er's life experience has changed. It will not be embarrassing to stay in the Hou's mansion. I will marry her in. She will be the wife of Shizi, so no one will laugh at Xi'er's background anymore."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she thought to herself that this Gu Xi is really a good way to retreat and advance!

Good intentions!
This made it useless for her to spread the rumor that Gu Xi shamelessly relied on her son.

Look at her silly son, still worried about her sincerely.

Mrs. Lu knew that her son was an axe, so she still didn't directly say no, and skillfully proposed a plan to delay the attack.
"Heng'er, getting married is a major event, there is no rush, and Xi'er is not ready yet, if you are in such a hurry to marry her in, the Hou family will not look good.

After a few days, Mother will go to Zhongyihou's Mansion in person to ask Lord Hou and Madam's opinion, if they are also in a hurry to marry their daughter, then let's see what to do, how about it? "

Lu Heng felt that what his mother said made sense, but he still hurriedly said,
"Mother, don't wait a few days, you can go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow."

"...Okay. Mother promises to you, isn't it okay?"

Mrs. Lu's face showed pampering and helplessness, but in fact, she was thinking about pretending to be sick tomorrow, and she was itching her teeth angrily, and put all her grievances on Gu Xi.

It's all because Gu Xi, the little bitch, stole her son's heart.

No, she has to think of another way quickly, and she must call off this marriage.

The next morning.

After Gu Xi woke up, she felt that her eyelids kept twitching, or both sides twitched together, the left twitched, and the right twitched, so she didn't know whether it was a disaster or a fortune.

Gu Xi yawned lazily, then rubbed her eyelids to make them calm down.

Is something big going to happen?

Gu Xi thought about it, and all she could think of was about King Ning and her divorce.

What twists and turns can there be in retiring the engagement? Qiuzhi sent a message that Mrs. Hou agreed to divorce. Presumably Mrs. Lu would return the Geng Tie with a smile.

Could it be that something happened to the casino?

Although Gu Xi wanted Qi Yue to spit out a wave of money, she also knew that she had to grasp the speed, so she wrote to the sixth prince and King An last night, asking them to bet up to 2 taels of silver.

In addition, she made a bet of 1 taels herself, and if she won, the gambling house would pay 5 taels. Although it hurts, it will not hurt the bones.

If he bets too much and asks him to pay too hard, maybe Qi Yue will stop her from retiring the engagement.

After all, the ostensible master of the gambling shop is the eldest prince, and if the silver exceeds 5 taels, even if he offends King An, the eldest prince will make a move.

Therefore, it is only 5 taels, which should be fine.

Gu Xi rubbed her twitching right eyelid, worried that something might happen to King Ning.

Yesterday she already felt that there were more people searching for King Ning.

Lou Shangshu and the others are in a hurry.

Alas, this Buddha stays in the farm, making her, a salted fish, restless.

She didn't feel like having fun anymore.

No, you have to finish the face-slapping quickly, get the Mingmu Pill, and let King Ning leave.

Gu Xi called up the system page and found that there was only one face-slapping task left.

It must be done today!

Praise Gu Rong's narrow-mindedness.

Quartet Casino.

Chen Sheng was the manager of the night game in the gambling house. He didn't sleep all night, which made him a little bit exhausted. He yawned and got up, ready to go back to his room to rest.

However, as soon as Chen Sheng returned to the backyard, before he could lie down, a fellow ran in in a panic and shouted,

"Chen Guanshi, it's not good, you go to the front and have a look."

"What's wrong? There's a scene of losing a bet?! Just let Huang San and the others catch him and beat him up."

Chen Sheng said angrily.

"It's not a bet, it's a bet with money." The man quickly explained,

"The person who said it was the sixth prince, many servants carried several large boxes of silver, tens of thousands of taels, and wanted Miss Gu to voluntarily withdraw from the engagement, and successfully dissolved the engagement."

When Chen Sheng heard that he was the sixth prince, and the amount of money was so huge, he hurriedly got up and ordered repeatedly,

"Report to the master quickly! Inviting him to come to the town, this matter is a big deal, I can't be the master."
